Clarice Beckett

Clarice Beckett is recognized as one of Australia’s most unique landscape painters, although she received little recognition beyond her hometown of Melbourne during her lifetime. Her reputation today owes much to the work of her biographer Rosalind Hollinrake, who discovered around two thousand of Beckett’s works in a shed on a property in rural Victoria (many of which could not be salvaged), recorded the recollections of Beckett’s family and friends and researched and exhibited her work.
